Fleetwood Town, a League One club, have earned a home tie against Sheffield United, who play in the Championship a division higher, in the third round of the Carabao Cup, a knockout competition for English football clubs run alongside the regular league season. Fleetwood have reached this stage after winning their first two rounds, including a 4-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town.
The match will be played at Fleetwood's home ground, Highbury Stadium, on Wednesday 16 September 2026, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports+. Facing a higher-division opponent gives Fleetwood a chance to test themselves against stronger opposition and potentially cause an upset, which is part of what makes cup competitions like this one significant for smaller clubs.
Ticket prices vary by age and by whether fans want a seat or a standing area, and season ticket holders need to buy a separate ticket for this fixture since their season passes don't cover cup games.
